Time for Marketing

Digitalzone 18 is a marketing conference that takes place in Istanbul, Turkey. I've talked to Matthew Kay (@matthewkay87/) from Aira. He had a presentation called Beyond Keywords: How To Create Content That Matches Your Buyer’s Journey. He is an SEO at hearth and approached content and content strategy from an SEO perspective.

Here is his presentation

JP Sherman is the Enterprise Search & Findability Manager at Red Hat and we talked about the on-site search, how they are using it at Red Hat and how e-commerce websites are (not) using it. You can find JP on twitter and you can check out slides from the presentation.

Rob is the VP of podcast relations at Libsyn and had a presentation at the Content Marketing World 2018. One of the things that I liked in his presentation is his comparison of blogs vs. podcast and how we can stand out with a podcast more.

You can find Rob on Linkedin, or at his podcasts today in IOs or podcast411.

He is the guy that created moz.com, he is that guy that publicly talks about all the problems that he had while he was the boss, and he is now the guy that has a new company that we all can't wait to see what is doing. Rand Fishkin spoke at the 2018 MozCon, with the presentation title Why Nine out of Ten Marketing Launches Suck (and How to Be the One that Doesn't). We also talked about the Gmail launch and how that was a good launch, about his book and of course about his new company.

Purna Virji is the Senior Manager, Global engagement at Microsoft and was a speaker at the Search Leeds conference 2018. Her presentation was titled Intelligent search and intelligent assistants: Exploring the AI-era of search and she generally spoke about how Bing and Google are using AI in search, and how SEOs and website owners can use Artificial Intelligence in search marketing. There was an interesting view on voice search that you don't really hear all the time.
